Sale - Morelle Morchella Bag

first three photos from original listing on Etsy

I bought this lovely bag from the Etsy shop Morelle a few months ago (I'm a big fan of green!), but I haven't used it because realized I really need much larger bags to carry the amount of stuff I do around. I'm amazed by the handicraft of the seller, because it's so well made (it's details are fantastic!). And it has an adorable bow on the outside! From the original listing on Etsy (the link is below): "This Morchella is made out of forest green leather. The leather is a type of leather called 'Corrected grain leather' which is leather that has been sanded and treated extensively to remove any imperfections. The result is a very fine, durable, stain or scratch free leather. It is lined with resistant creme cotton. Ruffled on the top and bottom, one comfy strap, zippered closure, internal zippered pocket and cell phone pocket." So sweet and beautiful...
